# Graph Info Dialog Window

This dialog window is used to show some statistic information about the graph visualized in the base window where this dialog was invoked.

- Height
  Number of horizontal node levels in the graph visualization (or vertical levels for other layout orientations).
- Nodes
  Number of regular nodes in the graph, without invisible dummy nodes.
- Dummy-Nodes
  Number of invisible dummy nodes in the graph. Dummy nodes are generated automatically in a hierarchical layout to fill long span edges at each passed level. Read more about graph layout in the concepts document.
- Edges
  Number of edges between nodes in the graph. Automatically generated edges from and to dummy nodes (i.e. the segments of long span edges) are not counted here.
- Crossings
  Number of crossings between edges in the graph. You can try to reduce the crossings by starting the graph layout algorithm with menu Layout/Improve All.
